What kind of words are flammable and inflammable synonyms or antonyms?

"Flammable" and "inflammable" are synonyms.

They both mean the same thing: easily set on fire.

It might seem confusing since "in" often means the opposite of something, but in this case, "inflammable" simply comes from the Latin "inflammare" meaning "to set on fire."
